I do not have a multimetre, futhermore your expalnation makes no sense to me. I have lost my hand book. I have not had to use it before. This is the first time the machine has failed.I do not have a multimetre, futhermore your expalnation makes no sense to me. I have lost my hand book. I have not had to use it before.

Error code F10 means common feed of heater or thermostat open circuit.You need to test the thermostats and the heater element for continuity.You need a multimeter to do this, assuming you know how to use a meter,then set it on the ohms range for continuity, remove one wire from each stat, and test with meter across terminals of stats,You should get FSD if stats are o/k.If you don't, then you need to replace both stats, even if only one is faulty.It is unlikely to be the element that is faulty, as they rarely fail.Plz rate my solution.Thanks

I was wondering why you found my solution inappropiate for your problem

You asked what F10 meant, and I told you what it meant, and a detailed explanation of what to look for.

The code is listed in the Hotpoint error codes on the web.

I look forward to your comment.

Thankyou.

However, what it means is that it could have a faulty motor or motor
control board. The motor tachometer could also be faulty. Some machines have a
little rotating magnet and sensor, and the magnet can become detached. If this code is not constant, and
tending to come on during a spin cycle, check the drive belt for wear or slack, and
check the motor brushes.

F01 is a motor faulty normally caused by the module,but sometimes thewiring to the motor plug that works loose as its to tight,give them alla good wiggle make sure there all in!check this link for other error codes of hotpoint machineshttp://www.hotpointservice.co.uk/hs/pages/content.do?keys=FAQ:ERROR_CODES

i have a hotpoint ultima ctd80 which i have had the last 2 years, it has shown error codes f11, f10 and f15, every time i fix this problem by first switching off and unplugging appliance then removing small cover from back (middle with 2 screws) then larger panel that the smaller panel overlapped. once you remove these you will see the heating elements, remove the 2 screws at the back off this, remove cover carefully then at the top you will see two things (not very technical lol i am a woman), with a pin press the pin in the one with a hole, mine makes a clicking sound when i do it, not sure if it meant to but works for me. put all parts back together and thats the job done. make sure both fillters and water emptied regular, hope this helps and saves you a fortune on call outs
